Tamiya 58672 Monster Beetle Trail 1/14 GF-01TR Scale Trail Vehicle  [58672]

Scaled Beetle with Trail-Focused Chassis

The Monster Beetle has long appealed to scale RC builders who like authentic styling paired with usable mechanics. The Tamiya 58672 reinterprets that classic into a 1/14 trail model sitting on the GF-01TR chassis, featuring a gear-driven 4WD system and portal axles to maximise clearance on rough routes.

GF-01TR Trail Chassis Highlights

The GF-01TR design centres the motor inside a compact monocoque frame and uses reduction gearing to feed portal axles for improved approach angles. The sealed gearbox helps keep contaminants out, preserving drivetrain longevity when you run on dusty or gritty trails.

Scale Detail and On-Track Behaviour

The Monster Beetle Trail sports a red ABS shell with wide fenders and three front auxiliary lamps, with metal-plated trim enhancing realism. Yellow wheels fitted with 115mm hybrid pin spike/lug tyres give consistent cushioning and traction on varied surfaces. The standard 37.35:1 gear ratio can be changed to 33.61:1 with an aftermarket pinion if you need a different balance of acceleration and top speed.

The Monster Beetle Trail is a well balanced kit for modders and scale fans who want a compact trail performer with authentic looks and reliable mechanicals.
